Understanding and Working with Older Patients
Presented By: Betsy Bates Freed
The US population is rapidly aging, with the last of the Baby Boomers turning 65 in just nine years. This presentation will focus on the developmental, medical, psychological, existential, and logistical needs of older adult clients and patients who will soon represent a much greater proportion of our clinical practices. The unique burden of COVID-19 on older adults will be reviewed as well.
You will learn about elder bias, stages of aging between ages 65 and 100+, common medical comorbidities, clinical presentations of depression and anxiety, suicide risk in older adults, and practical approaches regarding accessibility, communication style, and perspective as we prepare to meet the needs of this diverse population.

Thanks Dr. Freed for this wonderful insight that has sparked a new way of recruiting these precious clients to my practice in a way likely never seen before. I cant wait to share it with the world. After fine tuning of course.

Seniors are great source of know how, and short cut time for younger not only what to do but also what not to do.

I may have to retake that. My first client was 69 and a Vietnam Vet. He wanted to quit smoking. He smoked for 52 years. He quit after the first session!
